Lots Wife comes home after touring the country for four years. I was invited by Ruth Harris to participate in a traveling exhibit that she named Women of Biblical Proportions. I was instructed to choose a woman in the Bible and construct a quilt that was exactly 22" square. I chose Lots Wife because that was one story in the Bible that had made a lasting impression on me as a child. I think there were 50 quilts in the exhibit that toured the US from 2003 thru 2007. It's nice to have it home but I decided to gift it to a good friend, Cherri Willis, that is a manager at a local religious radio station, KMSI 88.1FM. Cherri will hang it in her office so it is going to a good home.

Congratulations for being chosen to create a quilt for a touring show! Lots wife has a very melancholy feeling to it.
Thank you. It was difficult for me to visualize what a person would look like that had turned to salt....plus the poor woman had just lost her home and didn't have her own identity.
